His life races before his own brown eyes
He remembers all the events and lies
He looks at his hands, remembering what they had been through
From being born in a small town, to fighting in World war two
He remembered the love of his life passing away years ago
Remembered seeing his daughter get married, her face all aglow
He gripped the bed rail, and winced in pain
He was tired of being sick, his body was going lame
He had held on for months, fought the disease hard
People had cared about him, sent their best regards
But they didn't understand, didn't know the full story
But he'd be damned if he was gonna go out with no glory
He had worked hard in his life, earned everything he had
Had took care of his mother, got a proper burial for his dad
He hoarsely asked for his beloved daughter
She came in, and he asked for some water
He drank his water, then started to speak:
"I hope you know that im frail...very weak"
His daughter nodded and leaned in for more
"Tell my grandaughter i told her to mind mom and do her chores"
"Tell her Granddaddys sick, but he's about to get better"
He then hugged his daughter, gripping her sweater
Both of their eyes swelled up with tears, and he gave her one last kiss
Then he leaned back and stared out to space; he began to reminisce
He then began to breathe slowly, his chest barely moving
His daughter gripped him again, knowing his soul she was losing
She then noticed he had stopped breathing, but then looked at his face
He had a faint smile, and his eyes were staring out into space
She closed his eyelids, and began to cry
Then looked up at the ceiling, and asked "God Why"
Then it hit her, she finally understood
She started to grin, she knew her father would
She walked outside and explained to her daughter
But her daughter didn't understand, her speech began to falter
........................The Daughter Explained:.............
"Feel good for him baby, Grandaddy now can rest"
"All God did was prove to us was he only takes the best"
